Sam Konstas is ready to play Tests for Australia

Teen cricket sensation Sam Konstas is ready to embrace the challenge of Test cricket this summer, confident that he is mentally prepared for his potential debut with Australia. The 19-year-old made headlines with a blistering 90-ball century against a Test-level Indian attack while playing for the Prime Minister’s XI in Canberra, standing out as the only top or middle-order batsman to score significantly.

Known for his focused approach, Konstas credits his success to staying present, often meditating before games to maintain a calm mindset. His quick stride to the crease signals intent from the first ball, a reflection of his fearless style. Addressing the hype, Konstas remains unfazed. “It’s about being the best version of myself,” he said. Despite missing out on early Test selection this summer, he views it as part of his journey and is optimistic about his growth and future opportunities.
